Description
The building comprises a 17th-century corn mill with a late 17th-century house, located in a rural setting. The structure is mainly whitewashed rubble stone with a slate roof that overhangs at the eaves, and a stone stack at the left end. The three-storey main range features a pair of entrances, one leading to the house and the other to the mill, flanked by mirrored window openings to the left and right. Attached to the extreme right is a two-storey, gabled malt-house. The windows are generally camber-headed, with stone voussoirs and stone sills. On the top floor, there's a four-pane window to the house’s left, and a boarded door to the mill’s right. The first floor has a twelve-pane hopper window to the left and a twelve-pane casement to the right, while the ground floor has matching hopper windows on both sides. The house door is boarded, and the mill door is also boarded and in two halves.
The malt house wing has a twelve-pane window on the ground floor’s left side and a two-light loft window in the gable end. An attached corrugated-iron open-fronted shed stands alongside, constructed with one iron post and one timber. A c1900 two-storey addition, built in red brick with a slate roof and a roughcast chimney at the left end, extends from the left side of the original house. This addition has a pair of large casement windows on each floor to the left and a door to the right, with stone sills and small-paned casements. Cambered brick heads feature on the ground floor, alongside a C20 porch. A section of the original house’s left-end wall, located at the rear of the c1900 addition, displays a former cart entry, now glazed, and a twelve-pane window above it. The mill’s right-end wall has twelve-pane windows with yellow-brick cambered heads; one window is in the attic, and two are on the first floor, positioned above a large c1900 undershot iron water wheel, approximately 16 feet in diameter.
At the rear, an outshut is present, and the house section projects slightly further, with a small casement pair on either side of a modern board door. Cambered heads are visible here. The mill’s rear features a boarded loft door under the eaves to the right and a boarded square opening to the ground floor’s left.
The mill’s interior remains largely unaltered, with three floors supported by heavy oak beams and rough squared joists. The ground floor contains a pit wheel driving a shaft to two sets of stones on the floor above. A chute from the first floor serves as a boulter. The upper floor of the malthouse has a pierced tile floor. The top floor features two tie-beam-and-collar trusses and three chutes, two directing grain to stones and one to a drying floor. A door connects to the house. Blocked rear windows indicate previous building-out works.
